Happy new year mate....finally got your LM's congrats...originals or reps?? I think its totally upto you to be honest, there was a white GTI in the airport parking today and i was looking at it and must say its quite nice....it does stand out abit more then the black ones as i feel black is abit more discreet, but its totally upto you....good luck and let us know what you decide on  :smiley:

If you really want a candy white one go for it, I would get a good background check of the car's history first however. Does the person whom you maybe swapping with want the wheels and suspension on your current car? If not take them off and put them on the white one. Now that would look nice, a lowered candy white gti with bbs lm's  :tongue:

I doubt that lhd gti you saw will have been awesomes car beacuse as far as I know the only mk5 they own at the moment is a steel grey 3door dsg with an oettinger bodykit. Maybe the white one is just somebody who really apreciates awesomes services!   :grin:

The simple fact that you are considering it says it all. If you want it and it is a straight swap and both cars are straight then go for it.

As Tom says, Awesome's demo car is a 3dr steel grey GTI. See link - second car down on page

Is it a stealer or someone you know?

Is his only reason for charging £1k the fact that it is white?

If it is a dealer just tell them to go and jump of a cliff! :evil:
If it is someone you know then kick him in the gonads and tell him to do the swap as he promised :evil:
